Calgary Parking Policies

Page Content

Calgary Parking Policies (Formerly A Parking Policy Framework for Calgary) is Council’s overarching policy document on how on-street and off-street parking is managed in Calgary. It is a living document that is continually revised and added to as specific parking policies are further developed. Highlights include:

The roles and relationships of Council, City Administration and the Calgary Parking Authority (Section 3)

Financial returns from the CPA to The City (Section 4)

A Parking Revenue Policy for paid parking areas (Section 5.3)

In December 2014, Council approved a Four-Year Parking Work Plan that outlines the parking policy work that will be undertaken over 2015-2018. The work plan was revised on 2015 September 28 to align with revised resource provisions.

Current Work

Administration is initiating a review of the residential parking permit program in 2018.
